Two Shots – ISOLATED SOULS : ISHANA AND SOWMYA [By Renima-part 2]

Hello ishqies, A humble request 2 all….Seeing this one pls don’t think that I am back…..I am really grateful 2 all my friends and readers who allowed me 2 take a break…… Perhaps this article is short and I myself find hardly some time for writing this one in girl’s perspective with respect 2 ishana and somwya as we miss them hardly….. But I felt this is something which has 2 be shown necessarily because cv’s never tried 2 show ishana and sowmya individually with any monologue and they definitely lacked much screen space….It’s my disappointment and frustration towards cv’s for ending ishana as well as not focusing on rumya story and not showing even a glance of sowmya…… This is my thought 2 show them in my own way and I don’t know whether it’s gud or bad … This is not for entertaining readers but it’s an attempt by me 2 show abt what ishu and somu has undergone according 2 me and I just put up in story only…… It is my new effort 2 make all of us 2 think abt them for a while……I am not able 2 assure u guys abt updating this one as well as my other articles….Sorry for inconvenience…. Links for previous part is here….

I humbly request u guys 2 think like a simple girl and then drop ur views if u can…….
Scene – 1
Sowmya and Ishana couldn’t think much more as the bus which they were travelling was stopped @ a point …..All passengers started bursting their anger on conductor of the bus….
Conductor : Pls….try 2 understand …..It happened all of a sudden….The tyre of the bus had got puncture…..We don’t have a stepney 2 replace @ present…..As soon as we get it soon we will fix it ….Sorry for the trouble……

All passengers get disappointed and started getting down from the bus…..Ishana and Sowmya also decides 2 get down …….Both of them stared the place in a glance……Almost they have reached in a forest reserved area which was out of the city only…….Their eyes went on the passengers ….Some are looking very tensed , while some where blaming their time and fate and few kids were running and playing hide and seek only…..Both of them feels that every one has their own regrets, their own priorities…. Ishana feels all are engaged in their own battles and all are keen 2 make a victory on it by sacrificing themselves per day….. With this thought she just took the bottle to drink some water…..She finds it as empty….
Ishana : My bad luck !!! Now I don’t get a drop of water also…….
Sowmya turns her eyes towards ishana and finds ishana’s face has got pale…..
Sowmya took the bottle from her bag and extended it towards ishana…….

Ishana : Mmm…..I think right from Mumbai we were seated by the nearby seats only……
Sowmya : Yeah,…..But the thing is almost 2 hrs we were together and we didn’t talk 2 each other…….And how strange now this bus has stopped in a jungle and we started talking from here only…….
Ishana : [interrupts] U are right……miss…..
Sowmya : I am Sowmya……And what’s ur gud name ?
Ishana : I am ishana…… perhaps in life for the first time some one has mentioned my name as gud…..
Sowmya : Why ??
Ishana : Nothing….It’s just a joke…..A simple joke……[smiles with wet eyes]
Sowmya was staring ishana’s eyes only…..She was not able 2 realize what was troubling ishana but she witnessed that ishu’s eyes were conveying her inner pain only…..Sowmya was unable 2 console ishana as she herself was much upset……Mean while she finds an old man who was trying 2 tie the strings of his guitar…..His hands were shivering , but still he was trying 2 play a note on his guitar….A pleasant smile comes on sowmya’s face…

Sowmya; Excuse me….uncle….May I help u ?
Old man : Haa beta… My glasses….Like my eyes they have also lost the power ….Am not able 2 tie it …..[old man removes his glasses from his eyes and takes a deep breath]
Sowmya : Don’t worry….uncle…I will do it…..[sowmya takes the guitar and fix the strings]
Old man : Thank u beta….why don’t u try a beat on it ?
Sowmya : Me….I love 2 sing, but I don’t know much about guitar……
Old man : Is it ? Then u just try a song, I will play it…..See everyone has got irritated as the tyre has actually punctured their day……I think probably we can change every one’s mood…
Sowmya : That’s cool…uncle…. I will sing….. [He takes the guitar and starts playing guitar] Sowmya starts singing,…..” Jo dil se lage…….

Love you zindagi, Love me zindagi…….”…Ishana was smiling and almost lost herself in dancing….. Sowmya was also feeling much gud by singing with the back ground score and dance …….Seeing Ishmya dancing and singing some of the passengers also joined with them, which enriched the moment with lot of enjoyment …….For ishmya that moment was really special as they were capable of forgetting all their pains and sorrows for a while though their lives doesn’t rewarded any joy or pleasure for them…..

But that moment couldn’t last for long as the conductor interrupted their enjoyment by making an announcement …. “Every thing is clear now….I request all passengers 2 get in the bus….. We will continue the journey….”
Ishana : Finally…….We have 2 go…..is it ?
Sowmya : Yeah…..[ishmya share an emotional eyelock]
Ishana : So let’s get in……[ishu hardly smiles]
Sowmya : Yeah….[sowmya also manages 2 give a smile]

Like the other passengers ishmya also gets into the bus and sits on their respective seats…..
Ishana : Thanks sowmya….
Sowmya : For what ?
Ishana : For making me 2 dance…..U know I love 2 dance…..And it has been a long time that I didn’t allowed my legs 2 do it……
Sowmya : Why ?

Ishana : My legs were running only…..For finding solutions, for protecting my beloved ones, I never tried 2 stop any where and allow myself 2 dance….because I don’t have time for that….Moreover I am still not able 2 stand on my own feet and I thought I will not be able 2 move my legs for rhythm……But ur song……it actually made me 2 dance madly, I was almost gone and just felt that I am a free bird and am flying on the sky…….I will never forget this day…..and especially u ….sowmya……thanks a lot……[ishu stares sumo with wet eyes]
Sowmya : I don’t think I have really did a big thing……I just love 2 sing and am feeling glad that my song made u 2 smile……In fact u danced well and that made me also 2 smile only….. So thanks for that……Ishana…. U know some thing……When this journey started I was totally feeling alone ……I felt whole life I have 2 spend within lonliness only…….
Ishana : I don’t know abt life…..For me life is like a game only…..A game of destiny…..And see destiny has made our meeting now……And may be I can’t fill the emptiness of ur life, but as long as we travel….I will not let u 2 spend urself as alone because I am with u…… I will continue with my loose talks and u have 2 bear me for that……Is it ok with u ??
Sowmya : Ishana!!! U are ……[sowmya smiles]
Ishana : What ? [smiles]

Ishana : Really….Then may I know what it is ?
Sowmya : I told u …..ishana….it’s nothing……Pls….[sowmya turns her eyes from ishu]
Ishana : It’s Ok…..if u can’t tell it 2 me….I don’t mind…. I was just concerned for my friend….I felt may be that thing in ur hand is disturbing u ….And I think I am wrong…Am I ?
Sowmya : No……U are right….ishana……It’s nothing just a mere joke of my life….[somu shows the thing 2 ishana]
Ishana : [shocked]Sowmya !!! this is……
Sowmya : Mangal sutra!!!! But for me it doesn’t gives any prosperity…..It doesn’t gives me any happiness, instead of it this mangalsutra reminds me abt……[sowmya cries]
Ishana : I am sorry…..I don’t have any intention 2 make u cry……But sowmya….if u finds it has no meaning, then why are u keeping this with u ?
Sowmya : I don’t know…..Ishana…..i don’t know…..For the man who tied this on my neck my presence doesn’t matters @ all…..I am like a curse in his life…..Now he never miss a chance 2 blame me even though I saved his life, he doesn’t cares me…..Not only him….in the whole world no one cares me….No one loves me…..[sowmya literally cries]
Ishana : Sowmya……When heart is broken it’s really hard 2 fix…..And I can understand what are u feeling now…..I just want 2 ask u one thing…..If neither of them doesn’t cares u then why are u crying for them ??

Sowmya : Once they used 2 care me…..I don’t know whether rudra had ever feelings for me…but om bhaiya and shivay bhaiya…….they never made me 2 feel alone….. But now they have changed……..they have changed a lot…. Like they are engaged in their own complicated lives only….they don’t have time 2 look back what I am facing now…..Seems I don’t have any space in that house…..as well as that city also…….[emotional]
Ishana : Om….U mean omkara singh oberoi….[emotional]
Sowmya ; U know him……

Ishana : Yeah…..I know him…..i mean he hires from a rich family…….he is an artist…..And every one knows him…..
Sowmya : U know what…..I used 2 call him as bade baal waale bhaiya…….He always show a special concern 2 me…..And I felt myself as lucky 2 have that special care…..He never made 2 feel that I have lost my bhaiya…..It was he who announced me as his sister @ first in raksha bandhan……I felt a kind of happiness from my heart which is unable 2 express in words…..That day I actually felt that am his choti behan……Whenever those three brothers….will share a brotherly moment, om bhaiya always tells me 2 join with them….. And when rudra questioned it, he said that am his sister….At that right I can be a part of their brotherly moment……But now….he doesn’t thinks about me…..In fact I wonder he is the same bade baal waale bhaiya whom I knows? Time and situations change every one, but he had undergone so much change and now I think he has killed his own heart and pretending himself 2 be stubborn …..I am not able 2 understand him…..[emotional]
Ishana : Even I am also unable 2 understand him……[emotional]
Sowmya : What ? [confused]
Ishana : Nothing…..I just want 2 say that I am with u…..[ishu holds sumo’s hand]
Sowmya : U know ishana….. u can stay with me upto this journey only , after that…..I have 2 go alone only…….Isn’t it ??…..[sumo burst into tears]
Ishana : Sowmya……It’s true …But I am with u…..every thing will be….[before ishana could complete her words,sumo hugs her tightly and literally cries]
Ishana was really feeling much confused and sad for sowmya…..She just waved her hand through sumo’s forehead and sumo’s tears brought tears in ishana’s eyes also……After some time somu falls asleep on ishu’s shoulder……Ishana continues 2 wave her hand through somu’s forehead ……After some time ishana gets an MMS in her mobile…..She gets damn shocked ….Ishana’s view….” Before these passengers get 2 know this news I have 2 rescue myself……Here also police are behind me…..What should I do, I think I have 2 leave right now…..” [ishu tries 2 get up, but finds that sumo was holding her hand unknowingly …..ishu simply stares sumo’s eyes with wet eyes…..
Next day morning the bus reaches Ahmedabad….Sowmya slowly wakes up and stares beside She gets panic as she finds that ishana was not there…..She feels tensed…..She screams…”Ishana….Ishana…”
Conductor : What happened madam ?

Sowmya : Wooh….Ishana, I mean she was sitting near me only……
Conductor : That girl has already left the bus before 2 hrs…
Sowmya : What ? [shocked]
Condcutor : Haa…madam…U was sleeping and she told that she don’t want 2 disturb u…. She has left a letter for u………. it’s here….[conductor handovers letter 2 sumo]
Sowmya : Bhaiya…can u pls tell me the exact place where she get down
Conductor : Haa, why not ? I think its Bhavnagar…..only..
Sowmya : Thank u bhaiya…..[sowmya takes her luggage and ishu’s letter with her and gets down from bus]

Sowmya’s view
“I don’t know why am missing her…Obviously I was aware that our friendship is upto the journey only……But don’t know why my mind is confused…..Why she didn’t utter a single word before leaving the bus ? And this letter…. I think this letter will help me 2 get my answers….”
Sowmya starts reading that letter…..

My dear friend, sowmya….

“What u said is right….sowmya …..Not only u but also I have 2 fight with my life alone……..May be that’s what had written in our lives……I don’t know what made us 2 connect u and me…..May be u and me are literally hurt from rudra and omkara……which brought us 2 leave this city and let us 2 fight with fate…. For u omkara is ur bhai and 2 tell u the truth I have betrayed him because my situations demanded 2 do so…. For that offence literally I am burning myself I lot of pain ony……As u are special 2 omkara as well as my friend , I don’t want 2 hide u the truth that am nothing just a con girl only…… U might be feeling strange and don’t worry…I don’t have stolen ur valuable things….if u want u can check that….. I can’t assure u with any promise because the more I will stay with u….may be my presence can affect ur life as @ any cost police are behind me 2 catch red handed only……….And I can’t compromise my friend’s life for my sake…..If possible u can trust my words and consider me as ur friend….And if u can’t do this….then torn this paper into pieces or throw it ……I don’t mind,.whether u will remember me or not, It’s upon ur thought only…… With love….ur friend…..Ishana…..”

Sowmya catches a taxi 2 reach Bhavnagar, On her way sumo was staring every street, area and road through the car’s window for 2 get a glance of her friend…Suddenly her eyes went on a girl who was running fast through the streets……Sumo feels it as ishana only though the girl’s face was not visible, sumo was able 2 see the girl’s dress….She gets down from the car and starts following that girl…. The girl has covered her face with the scarf because every where she was able 2 find her posters in some walls which depicted her pic and was written as “WANTED” ……
She hides near a pillar and takes breath in a sign of relief by removing the scarff…. Suddenly she finds that some one has placed hand on her shoulder……She turns back and get shocked 2 see that it was none other than sowmya…….

Sowmya : [shows ishu’s letter] Come with me…..Ishana….
Ishana : No ….sowmya….U have read it…..Right ? Then why u came here ?……Pls go…
Sowmya : No….ishana…..I will not go…..[sumo stares ishu sharply]
Ishana : Sowmya….Try 2 understand…..Police can catch me at any time as am the most wanted con girl…… They already got the information that I have left the Mumbai city……
Sowmya : But…u are not a criminal…..then I don’t think they will seriously charge u as accused…..If they will catch u also, then trust me they can’t keep u for a long time……
Ishana : I don’t know abt that….But right now I can’t surrender myself before them…. Though am fighting alone, my fight is for my family only…….And for their sake I have 2 save myself……I felt here my identity will not trouble me and I will be able 2 find a decent job ….But now I understood that I was wrong…..I can never be a common girl, because am a con girl only…….Sowmya I request u…… pls don’t take risk for me……pls….[ishu gets emotional]
Sowmya : Why ?
Ishana : Because I can’t see my friend in trouble…..
Sowmya : Exactly….even I can’t let my friend in any trouble…….[ISHMYA share an emotional eyelock]
Ishana : Pls leave …..sowmya…pls…

Sowmya : U said that u are with me….Then how can u separate me from urself ?
Ishana : I didn’t made a promise , sowmya…..
Sowmya : Yeah…..that was not a promise…….In fact that was ur concern only….. Right ?? [emotional] Whoever I thought as mine, all are ignoring me……And finally u my friend u directly said me 2 leave……Isn’t it ? [emotional]
Ishana ; I am sorry……Sowmya…..I didn’t mean it….I wish I could stay with u, but I don’t want 2 create a prblm for u……Our friendship existed upto that journey only and now the journey is over and ……..[ishu turns her eyes from somu and gets emotional]
Sowmya : And what ….Ishana ?? [sowmya holds ishu’s hands and stares her eyes] How long u will burn ur own heart ? What made u 2 stop from telling it ? U want 2 say that our friendship has come 2 end ….isn’t it ?
Ishana : Think whatever u want…..But I can’t let u in pain for me…..Pls leave……
Sowmya : Ishana……listen 2 me…

Ishana : I said leave!!!!!!…….[ishu stares sumo’s eyes and shouts]
Sowmya : Do u really want me 2 leave ? [emotional]
Ishana : Haa…..Just leave…..it’s a request from ur friend….If u thinks me as ur friend still, then pls leave….[ishu bend in her own knees and folds her hands before sumo]Sowmya… pls leave……
Sowmya : My friend has demanded me 2 leave her, then how can I deny it ?? [ Ishu is surprised with sumo’s statement…..she stares sumo’s eyes…..She finds that sumo was literally crying only…..She raised her hand 2 wipe out sumo’s tears, but intentionally she took back her hand as ishu finds that sumo’s eyes were innocently conveying her heart’s desire 2 have ishu’s care and ishana was not able 2 do it]

Ishana : We were just passengers of the journey…….. And as a fellow passenger I was friendly towards u which ended @ the journey ……It’s over…..sowmya…..It’s over…. [ishana was finding hard 2 say these words by looking @ sowmya’s eyes….after saying this ishu turned her back against sumo]
Sowmya : A fellow passenger…..It’s gud….that this fellow stood as my friend…..For few hrs I felt this fellow passenger is able 2 see my heart….This fellow passenger is able 2 love me…. For some time this fellow passenger extend her hand 2 wipe out my tears and give her shoulder for me 2 sleep…..And now this fellow passenger wants me 2 leave from her….. [literally cries]
Ishana : Just Leave…..I don’t want 2 see u…..Leave….[ishu manages 2 say it in a loud voice]
Sowmya : Take care….my friend…….[Sowmya burst into tears and runs away]

Ishana’s view
“I am sorry sowmya….. Sorry for breaking ur heart……I know already u are in dilemma as ur beloved ones have made u feel lonely, and I am adding my name on that list…..But my friendship will reward u more pain and misery only, and I can’t see u in pain…I have hurt u but if I will come with u it will give u life long sorrow only……I want u 2 smile forever, u will soon start hating me when u will find me behind bars of lock up…..”[ishu burst into tears]

Sowmya’s view
“I know ishana….u won’t allow me 2 stay with u rightnow…. U give ur hand 2 me when I felt myself as nothing….that time I was able 2 see ur heart only….Ur identity doesn’t bothers me but ur separation bothers me a lot…..I don’t want 2 lose u, my friend….. Within distance also….trust me my eyes are on u only…..Because u are my friend…ishana…and when u was asking me 2 leave I was able 2 find that from heart u really wants me 2 stay with u, but as u said it’s ur fight only, u can’t allow me also 2 fight with u….. I don’t know why am feeling much bad 2 see u in pain, it is really making me sad only…..I will try my level best 2 reduce ur pain….As u said u will not allow me 2 sit alone in the journey and now am telling u that I can’t leave u alone in ur prblm…… May be u can’t make any promise, but I am promising u that I will maintain this friendship forever…..Ishana…..” [emotional]

For Ishmya the turn of life was quite shocking and confusing only…..If it is a game of destiny then why it give a few glimpse of joy and hope by creating a friendship among them ? If that friendship has no meaning then what made sowmya 2 search ishu and what made ishu 2 drop a letter for sowmya ? Both are two simple girls who doesn’t dreamt of touching sky or reaching heights……Ishana wished a secured life for herself as well as her family, but life has always rewarded her immense pain only ….While sowmya was avoided by her own beloved ones and life rewarded her lonliness only……What was Ishmya’s mistake, why they got these gifts of pain and lonliness only ?? Destiny brought them together for a while, but it left them to keep a distance from themselves and now their lives rewarded them separation also…. Both of them were not capable of understanding why they got three valid gifts from life ….pain, lonliness and separation…..Both of them cried in the darkness as there was no one 2 wipe out their tears, but the three gifts which they achieved from lives were with the, to increase their wounds, 2 play with their emotions and moreover 2 flame their hearts…..

PRECAP : LIFE WILL AGAIN PLAY PRANKS WITH U, IT WILL REWARD U SO MANY UNEXPECTED GIFTS , IT WILL DEMAND U AND COMMAND U SO MANY THINGS AND ULTIMATELY IT WILL LEAVE U …….

Renima…. You made me speechless again….superb episode….amazing writing … It directly touched my heart. Its a perfect portrayal of the two most beautiful and unique characters.. Keep going dear friend….

Amazing renu (I hope you wont mind me calling you that way) dear your shots are fab… seriously…. the way u have described them both were amazing…. seriously ishana was a good pair with om…. well I’m not saying that gauri is bad one she is also good infact amazing but ishana was really great… they should have not replace her

U can call me renu, no prblm that’s the way my beloved ones calls me and glad that u are calling me with that name….thanks for it….And thanks for commenting on the episode….i don’t have any regrets for gauri…but what i expressed is just my thought …because i felt these two girls have not given much screen space…that’s all….Gauri is gud…only the story line is bit dragging and comparitively it will take some time for me 2 accept rikara…thanks a lot….

Its beautiful.. You made me speechless.. Their pain, their care you simply nailed it..only a person who in pain can understand others pain..Ishana and Soumya’s characters are well portrayed by you than the serial..

Thanks renima for sending the link, reading your ff s is always a treat and I agree with you the cvs didn’t end the ishana track properly and they are not giving enough screen space to rumya… Coming to the epi it s emotional, the way you described their pain is just fab…..

Thanks rasika for reading this one…and commenting…I have started liking gauri…but they should not ended ishu track in proper way and i want some intense love track for omie and gauri which will be gud…u ,saku and sharaddha ‘s ff regarding gaurika actually sounds far far better than the real show….In show more and more swethlana and kaali are doing nuissances….and am really feeling bad for that….instead of showing kaali and swet in every episode why can’t they show some omru moments, sumo-omie scenes and rumya love track….. show mein villains ko kuch zyada hi imp de rehe hein……

Wow di…
I am speechless…
This was beyond words….
The line…
Everyone is struggling their own life…
Then that one…
My legs were running only to find solutions…..ahh…it pricked….it really pricked….and conveyed the feel…..
Di I was visualizing sumo’s reaction….when she get to know that ishu left somewhere……without disturbing her….
This is a masterpiece…..and trust me….this is really amazing…..
But then i think amazing won’t suit the work….
So it was like…
CHAND PALON KE ALFAAZ SAB THEHRE REH GAYE….
LAFZ DIL MEIN THAM GAYE…AANSUN SAB KEH GAYE…

I m dammmm happy ur back (for some beautiful moment) I really loved the way u write…… I feel CVS have no right to play with our emotions towards the story line (oops it’s typical show Now) I love u
Thanks for coming back
